Eh. I could care less if I know. I think it's unfair for us to know her true Pea identity because she probably would have a hard time being just one of us...I wouldn't want to take that away from her.

I wouldn't want this board run by someone with extreme views politically (i.e. lucyg) or religiously (I.e. jodster). I'm really disappointed by this. And, it's a terrific example of why the admin should remain anonymous. This opinion could have been expressed just as easily without naming individuals and labeling them as extremists.

No worries Janice! I will tell you emphatically the admin is not me! And I so glad, because my personality is completely wrong for that job. ^^^ and hop2, it's ok. I'm sure there are many, many people who see me that way. I am who I am, and I worship Who I worship. Thank you though. You're wrong about lucyg Janice. Way wrong. She is one of the most non-extreme, fair-minded peas out there. And she's not afraid to set you straight without being snarky, just like our dear fairy podmother. I am proud to call her my friend. ETA: And I also think she'd make a great administrator, though she'd probably tell me to, "Bite your tongue!" *As an aside, I personally think the "extremist" label is tossed out here and elsewhere. You may find my views extreme, but I respect the right of other people to have views completely different than mine, and I seek to understand those views, as do others on this board whose views you may also find extreme. To me an extremist is a person who can only see their POV, and seeks to silence those with whom they don't agree.* I didn't mean equate extreme with bad. That's why I used both you and Lucy as examples. Ok thank you for the explanation.

She moderates a message board. She doesn't have the power to launch a nuclear bomb. Perspective.

I don't really care who the admin is, I think she is doing a great job that it doesn't matter to me.

For me, it's nothing more than simple curiosity over who is brave enough to take on this formidable task of admin! I'm fine with not knowing though. I'm grateful she did and wish her all the privacy she needs.

Years ago I was on a board that was growing incredibly fast so the mods asked for volunteers to help them mod. At first they did it under their own names which didn't go over well because people felt they were lording it over the rest of us or were afraid to engage them on a thread. Some went the other way and became antagonistic because they felt that person shouldn't be a mod because they didn't believe the same things so it created unnecessary drama to the boards. Eventually most of them quit moding and tried to return to normal board life but I think many still regarded them as having secret powers that could be used against you at any time. Last I checked the boards had gone to just using Mod 1 and Mod 2 and such designations and no one really knew who they were. Sometimes they would admit who was who but then found they couldn't participate as freely anymore.
It's a double edged sword. Until a person has a reason to question the motivations of an admin I don't see the harm in letting everything cruise along as it has been. If it's being moded by someone with an agenda or bias we'll see it soon enough. We're the Peas for crying out loud. Nothing gets past us.
FTR, I think the Admin is doing a great job and am very grateful. I have no concerns about her overstepping or dictating, nor should we do the same to her. She's more than a mod, she's a member, a generous, intelligent member who is doing what few others would have done. I also believe that how a person behaves as a mod is different than how they behave as a member. So even if you find out she's someone you don't like that doesn't mean she can't do her job, just that you (general you) are always going to question it. Frankly, she could be a real Pod person or that little alien dude from the early avatars and I'm still not gonna fuss unless she tries to force me to drink the kool-aid. I doubt any of us are giving her carte blanche, but let's not ruin her time here either. It's her home too. And if her id ever gets out, it will be ruined. I've seen it before and that was on a board where we never needed our big girl panties.

I don't care as long as the moderator is not Kristina or Jeff.

I don't really think it is necessary to know especially seeing how the Peas have jumped on admins and owners at 2Peas in the past. Having to know or being bothered that some know smacks of those who used to talk about the 2Peas owners like they were personal best buds v. those who didn't, kwim? It just came off as clique-ish. Here, all I need to know is that someone stepped up and was graceful in doing so (unlike "Adam"). There are multipage threads letting her know how much we appreciate her. In fact, if anyone ever decides to jump on her for any reason, let's keep those threads around to refer them to those pages!

It doesn't "have to be fair" . That being said, knowing this board is run by someone who seemed to be a non-controversial fairly neutral pea makes me more willing to participate. I wouldn't want this board run by someone with extreme views politically (i.e. lucyg) or religiously (I.e. jodster). You are kidding, right? Lucyg and Jodster may both be strong in their beliefs but I have always found them to be fair. I have no doubt that either one of them would be a great moderator and would be extremely fair. They may not like everything that is posted by others, but they respect that other people have different views. There are people that were far more extreme on 2 Peas than these two ladies.

I may or may not agree with Jody and Lucy but I will still read their perspective on things. I wouldn't care if the moderator was either of them if she stayed impartial and anonymous and our admin is just that. She's doing a fine job and we need to respect her wishes. Her board her rules.

I don't care who the admin of this board is. From what I have seen/read of the admin, when she does get moderators, I'm sure that she has the expectation of someone who can put aside their personal feelings and be objective. That is part of being an effective board monitor...

This is what I posted on another thread: I'm a bit confused... Do you have another ID so you can post as a regular pea and then the Admin one for official stuff? Just curious - not asking for the ID or anything.

Wow, that was weird. Jodster, I don't think you're an extremist, either.
